We have dozens of different balances with that stamp. It's not a product code or anything, it just indicates the strength of the spring.

In order to figure out what Series this is, I need you to remove an undamaged version of this balance from the window and show me clear pictures of the top and bottom nylon fittings. I will also need to know the dimensions of these fittings. The video below will go into more detail.

Thank you! I recognize this balance. This is a somewhat older style but we can supply it as a custom order. One thing to note is that the modern version they make is slightly different, but it's designed to be a direct replacement by the manufacturer themselves. I just don't want you to be surprised when you see it.

With that out of the way, can you tell me exactly how many you needed? Once I have a quantity, I'll email you a purchase link and price quote that you can use to place your order on our site.

We can unfortunately only supply 2 at minimum, since it's a custom order. I hope that's okay. We always recommend replacing both balances at the same time anyway; mixing and matching old and new balances tends to cause the newer balance to wear out faster than it might have otherwise.

I will email that to you right now. Let me know if you had any questions.
